Universal Orlando to Close Lost Continent in Phases, Retire Mythos in 2027

The park will shift its flagship dining to a reimagined Thunder Falls Terrace in 2027.

Overview

  • Universal Orlando, which announced the plan Thursday, will wind down The Lost Continent in stages and permanently close Mythos Restaurant in 2027.
  • Construction activity is already visible as walls now block the former Poseidon's Fury and Eighth Voyage of Sindbad areas in preparation for redevelopment.
  • Thunder Falls Terrace in Jurassic Park will close this summer and reopen in 2027 as Islands of Adventure’s new signature full-service restaurant.
  • Universal has not announced the new themed land that will replace The Lost Continent, and media speculation about concepts remains unconfirmed.
  • Mythos opened in 1999 and earned repeated “best theme park restaurant” honors, and its exit comes as Universal pursues broader, franchise-led upgrades across the resort, including a refreshed Horror Make-Up Show and CityWalk changes.
